Immigration is permanent residence. You can move somewhere not permanently, like on a temporary work visa - that is an expat. US/UK/Canada have a lot of treaty agreements with other countries, so a Canadian citizenship will essentially allow you into many countries more easily than those coming from a third world country. People from third world countries have to go through a more intensive visa process for temporary residence.

Another reason expat applies generally is because generally an expat from the US does not renounce their US citizenship despite the tax implications due to the need/desire to return home. The US is one of the few countries that will tax a US citizen anywhere in the world, which I think leads to the increased use of the word expat.

bet this will be a premium feature.

You’re not supposed to intrinsically have your sense of direction in an unfamiliar location. Some people can do that but assuming you’re not paying full attention on your way to a new location it’s actually normal and expected to have to get your bearings which means taking a moment to orient yourself and figure out what direction is what. And then it’s easy to forget (let’s say you step into a store) until you build a sense of landmarks. Also the more dense a location the harder it is because it’s more complex.

This is clearly the Samsung interface and thus not stock Android. Doesn’t even really look like the same feature.

Most paywalls know this and don’t load the content at all. Don’t do it because it doesn’t work

Specifically, the Board and thus the CEO must maximize company VALUE not profit.

There are other ways to increase company value that do not necessarily result in Q/Q / Y/Y profit increases.

But in the 1970s you get a guy named Milton Friedman who comes along with the concept of shareholder value in a 1970 essay for The New York Times, entitled “A Friedman Doctrine: The Social Responsibility of Business Is to Increase Its Profits”.[5] In it, he argued that a company has no social responsibility to the public or society; its only responsibility is to its shareholders.

So there’s been a lot of argument against it since esp as of late, but the economic hegemony still adheres to Friedman’s economic principles.

No but it sounds similar

I don’t know what it is about the government they’re like chomping at the bit to install technology from the snakeoil AI salesman.

Lol this is a “water is wet” level report.

It’s already out. Not all phones will receive it. Those that do might not get it the same day pixels do.

This update is not an android security release that patches drivers or system files, but the update to google play services and related apps.

You are right in that it’s unlikely the pixels will get any further A14 security updates until after A15.

Either Fennec or Mull. https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.mozilla.fennec_fdroid/

Firefox stripped of its playstore requirements and telementry gives you fennec.

Fennec + arkenfox user.js installed = Mull.

yep firefox with arkenfox for me, same deal as librewolf. And Mull on mobile.

Switched about 2-3 months ago thinking it might be difficult or impact me negatively or something but its been easy and great.

uBO Lite.

Not my jam, lacks the power of the original.

I appreciate having your first hand insight and appreciate the convo

As a Canadian it’s insane to me to have a bill at all after going through some sort of health ordeal the last thing you need is a big scary bill with something to do.

if I honestly can’t pay my share. I can walk into the billing office at the clinic /hospital and explain I honestly can’t afford my share. The hospital will bill the insurance what they can, then look for extra funding. Most hospitals have a charity fund. It is based on my income. If I am broke and make crap wages, my share might be reduced to 0 usd.

So the ask here is for someone who already need to work every waking moment, and then just lost a bunch of hours being hurt/sick, to then spend their time explaining multiple times to the billing dept that they cant afford it (this is degrading) and then their bill MIGHT be reduced but it also MIGHT go to collections and which further goes to damage the individual by hurting their credit. just seems like a burden on the poor.

But yeah i mean its a difference in systems. I think about how canada builds it into taxes - everyone pays in at a rate consistent with their income levels and benefits similarly - but the US way is donations. And I hope that works too. It seems to work from what i’ve seen so far. but it seems like a round about way to get it done.

1. The intense income disparity.

2. Healthcare bills.

I suppose these are cliche topics but as a non-american non-tourist the first thing that has stood out to me is that the highs are so incredibly high, and the lows are so incredibly low. Being a Canadian, it’s not like we don’t also have income disparity…but the gap is not as insane. The rich in the US have yachts that are 100’s of millions of dollars, and the poor literally carry their kids on their backs while selling fruit on the side of the highway. You can see both in the same day.

Also I don’t think Americans truly understand that you can get weeks of hospital care in Canada and not even receive a bill. Like a month in a private hospital room and i paid for a phone bill, a wifi bill, and some parking fees. In the US if you even so much as flash your eyelashes at a doctor you get a bill for hundreds of dollars.

Yep The filters feature appears to be the carrot. I did more reading after.

That said I’m sure it’s just time before someone makes a lightweight tool that can control this.

Is rtx HDR not a driver feature? and they’re simply putting the toggle switch in the app instead of the control panel like they have for everything else? I doubt that the functionality is actually embedded in this app.
